Where Beauty Lives in Memory Dolly Parton

[Verse 1]
She stands before the mirror
Smiles at her reflection
Striking sexy poses in the glass
She paints her lips a brilliant red
Piles her hair high on her head
Struggles to replace a false eyelash
She powders up her face
Paints her cheeks to match her lips
She wears a dress cut low in front
Fitting tight around her hips
And there inside her room
She stands and gazes at herself
Where beauty lives in memory
She lives in fairy tales

[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
She sings as she goes waltzing 'cross the floor
She keeps a candle burning
And she waits for his returning
When beauty lives in memory
It lives forevermore

[Verse 2]
She was a fairy princess once
And was by all adored
They say she was the fairest of them all
They called her Cinderella
And they say that every fella
Would gladly answer to her beck and call
So the story went
They tell of how this handsome prince
Stole her heart and wandered far away
He took her heart and took her mind
Now she has lost all track of time
Forty years has passed and still she waits
Singing
